Actions an admin can take with specific permissions in Recruiter

Last updated: 6 months ago

As a Product Settings admin and Account Center (user and license management) admin, you can perform specific tasks with these permissions.

The admin permissions in LinkedIn Recruiter are Product Settings admin and Account Center admin (user and license management admin in LinkedIn Admin Center).

Important to know

To increase security, LinkedIn requires admins to turn on two-step verification through their LinkedIn.com accounts to access their Recruiter account.

Existing admins can manage permissions for other admins. Admin permissions are unlimited and can be granted to as many users as you'd like in Recruiter.

Here's a tip

To better secure your account, we encourage you to add a back-up admin by assigning admin permissions to a current or new user. This allows an additional user to manage your contract if you depart the company or go on extended leave. Note: You can assign admin permissions to users with the Hiring Manager role without using a paid license.
